The average US lifespan fell for the first time in decades in 2015 - from 78.9 to 78.8 . Two of the leading causes of nationwide deaths are smoking and obesity. On average, smokers die 10 years earlier than nonsmokers, and obese individuals are more likely to have heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancer, and other illnesses.

People who are physically active also tend to live longer, and states with lower life expectancies reported higher numbers of sedentary individuals.
